1 Application filed January 27, 1926. SerialNo. 83,988.

"This invention relates to bed steads and more particularly is directed to an improved paratively cheap to manufacture,

panel construction adapted to be incorporated in the foot and head-boards of metallic "beds.

An object of the invention is to provide an improved double walled panel construction of sheet metal for incorporating in the foot or headboard of a bed, which shall be neat and ornamental in appearance, comeasy to assemble and install to form strong, light a be exemplified in the construction hBIGlH-y foot 'or headboard structure, to'a high degree for thepurposes described.

Other objects of this invention will in part be obvious and in part hereinafter pointed out.

The invention accordingly consists in the features of construction, combinations of elements, and arrangement of parts which will after described, and of which the'scope of application will be indicated in the following claims.

In the accompanying drawing, in which is shown one of the various possible illustrative embodiments of this invention,

Fig. 1 is a fragmentary front elevational view showing a- .wing

board embodying the invention;

Figs. 2 and 3 are cross-sectional views, taken on lines 2 2 and 3-3 respectively of the panel shown in Fig. 1;

S Fig. 4 is a perspective view partly broken away offthe improved panel as seen from the rear side thereof; V

Fig. 5 is a perspective view partly broken away of a modified form of panel construction embodying the invention as seen from bed embodying the invention, only a frag-' mentary portion showing, the improved side or win panel 11 construction andinstallation being shown. Said foot. board 10 com-' prises pairs of spaced, tubular middle and end stanchio'ns 12 and 13 respectively. Only one of each being shown, a center panel 19 fixedly secured between the pair of middle and practical stanchions 12 in any well understood man-- ner, and a wing panel 11 interconnected to 7 each of the middle stanchions'12 with an end 1 stanchion 13 to form Ilower extended to serve as middle and end legs 12 a rigid structure, the end portions of said stanchion's being and 13 respectively,

, As shown, eachwing panel 11 is of hollow constructlon and is made of sheet metal hav- 7 mg a front wall 14 and a rear wall 15,- spaced parallelly therefrom, durable structure and so as to give the panel a masslve appearance.

to form .a light and4 [The sheets forming the walls 14 and '15 are'both substantially alike in shape and size and may be arcuately bent transverse the height of each panel to give the bow-shape tothe foot-board. The

relation, and to form thetop side 18 of the a pleasing shape such as shown in panel 11, the upperedgeportions 14 and 15 of said walls 14 and 15,.respectively,,are permanently secured in any suitable manner to.

the oppositevsides of a cross member 16 as by welding said wall portions 14 and 15 to panel, of a bed foot form seams 1 6 and 16 respectively, with the sidesof said member 16. The welded seams are preferably ground to form 'a' may be welded to form seams 17 and 17 respectively with the sidesof a lowercross member 17. I

If desired additional means may beprovided for evenly spacing said walls from Said means are preferably formed integral with either of said walls,

each other.

as for example as shown in'Fig. 2, the rear wall 15 is made with forwardly bent side flanges -l5 for abutting the'front wall 14.

The cross members 16 and 17 may be made of material of any desired cross-sectional vsuch as oval, square, rectangular, semi-circular, or as shown in Figs. 1 and 4, are

formed of circular tubing. Said cross members 16 and 17' have their opposite ends 16216, and 17, 17, respectively, projecting beyond the sides of the panel and suitable i the stanchions 12 and 13 struetion is shownembodying theinvention.

In said figures, 21 denotes a panel which is tures and is seen to compibeyond the same purpose asdo the projecting ends 16"- tubular finishing;

, 28?, respectively,

made to incorporatethereinornamental tea-- isespaced front andrear walls 24: and 25, respectively, welded at their upper edge portions along-seams 26 and 26 to the opposite sides of a cross member 26 ofsemi-oircular cross-sectioni The opposite ends 26 and-26 of member 26 are ext ided side oi the panel and serve the:

and 16 of member 16 011panel-10 desoribed above.

The front wallQ i' may bGwfOI'lHBfil to :carry a suitably designed ornamentation on the: outer surface thereof and a suitable border member such astubular.member 27 ot reetangular cross section may 'be-provided to ex tend along the lower edge portion 249 01 the front wall 24. If desired,"theilower edge portion 25' 'ot-therear wall25lmay have a 1 border member :28 applied thereto and either one or. both of said-border members 27, may havetheircm s QITMrnd of the panel to take the place of t'he projectinn endsl'? and 17 'of :1nember17 :on \the panel 10 described above.

The panel maybe also provided with suit able finishing edge border memberssuch as.' tubular members 31, 32, secured .toiex'tend along the side-edges of the front wall 2& as shoWnin-Figs. Hand 7. i

The panel 21' maybe incorporated inn-foot board or like structure by fixedly anchoring same between stanchions in the manner described above for panel 10;

It will thus beseenthat there is provided and 17 extended beyond. the. sides a device in which the several objects of this invention are achieved, and which is well adapted to meet the conditionsof'practical use; p

As various possible embodiments might be made of the above invention,and as various changes might be made in the embodiinent above set forth, itis to be understood that all matter herein set iorthor shown in the accompanying drawing is to be interpreted as illustrative andtnot-iini a limiting sense.

Having" thus described our invention, we claim as new and desire to=secure by Letters Patent:-
